Message from Internet Service consultant: This window should NOT remain maximized on most computers. It is SUPPOSED to remain invisible to launch time-delayed pop up messages in accordance with an ad-supported software product that you may have installed on your computer.

If your computer will NOT hide this big white window, you may have spyware on your computer which is interfering with your ability to control hidden windwos. Spyware also sends you unsolicited advertising, slows down your computer and could capture private infromation like credit card numbers and social security numbers, etc.

I recomment that you install a "spyware removal" program so you can rid your computer of these parasites.

**Link is in this line**
I strongly reommend this link.

P.S. If your are expericiencing a higher frequency of pop up messages, you should definately consider downloading the spyware removal program. It will remove all of those annoying advertisements for good.

Some users have reported that clicking on the wite screen will make the task bar appear below.

I don't know if you'll fall through the same trap by going through the link, but go at your on risk. I don;t know.

quoting: Neo link=board=17;threadid=17457;start=0#msg107876 date=1070839452]Okay, I followed the steps in your thread except downloading HijackThis. I don't like the fact it doesn't distinguish between good and bad.

HijackThis is probably for people who know what there doing, and know what is listed is for, I don't, so I won't bother.

That's what we're here for. HijackThis won't automatically fix anything for you. You just follow the steps about generating the log and paste it into a reply here and the experts will analyze it for you and let you know if it found the cause of the problem.

Once this is done, please reboot and see if the problem goes away. Even if it doesn't I would recommend you return here to see if Pieter, Tony or one of the others has more input on the things I am unsure of, namely
